Review summary

The app is handy as a remote replacement and performs well once connected, but its value is hurt by pervasive ads, subscription pricing, and inconsistent setup/connectivity that can block initial pairing.

Pros

Can act as a replacement when the physical remote is lost or unavailable.
When it connects, the app is smooth, fast, and the TV controls work reliably.
Generally delivers solid basic remote functionality for everyday TV control.

Cons

Heavy and disruptive ads, including audible ads, interrupting usage.
Pricing model leans toward subscription rather than a one-time purchase, which many users dislike.
Initial setup often requires a physical remote to approve the connection on the TV, making it hard to pair if the remote is unavailable.
Some users report unreliable connectivity or not working on their TVs despite being on the same Wi‑Fi.

2025-04-14	DC*****	Downloaded this remote because my 3 year old lost my remote. When I went to connect the remote to TV over WiFi, it required me to have a remote to select accept on the TV. If you do not have a remote, it requires you to use the buttons on the actual tv. I don’t have buttons on my tv nor do I have a remote to accept the connection. Maybe create technology to have to enter your WiFi password to connect to the tv.

2024-11-03	Ch*****	I would buy this app if I could do a 1 time purchase of like $5. But instead it’s a yearly or monthly subscription. For a TV remote. How does that make sense? Navigating your TV is awful because every 10 clicks there’s a 5-10s ad that prevents you from using the app. Would be an easy 5 star if it was reasonable with the price or Ads. But instead the developers are greedy

2024-04-22	si*****	This app works incredibly smoothly; I was able to connect to my TV right away and all the buttons functioned perfectly. There are no complaints regarding the features as advertised. However, I am curious about potential updates. It would be fantastic if future versions allowed for connections to multiple TVs. Additionally, integrating a universal search function that works across various apps like YouTube or Netflix would elevate this app from great to phenomenal!

2024-02-19	Le*****	A helpful app I do like how it works the TV just fine however, it would be extra great and handy if it had a widget for easy access, initially aggravating with all the ads however, it does let you see if it works for your TV after paying one time purchase is flawless easy accessible without annoyances
